How I Lost My Whole Portfolio in 2 Days with $TRUMP – 5 Lessons i learned.
Hello, everyone. I’m relatively new to the crypto world. I started investing in November 2024, and I had $2,000 saved over almost two years. When $TRUMP launched, I got in late at $19 and bought $300 worth. The price rose to $25, and I sold, making a nice profit.
Out of curiosity, I made a simulation portfolio to see what would’ve happened if I had invested the full $2,000. The next day, $TRUMP skyrocketed to $70. In my simulated portfolio, my investment was worth over $8K. I was mesmerized.
As the coin kept climbing, I couldn’t help but think I’d missed out. After hours of watching the bullish market, I decided to go all in with my real portfolio.
On the eve of Trump’s inauguration, the coin crashed by 50%. Still optimistic, I thought it was just a dip. I took out a $1,000 loan and invested everything.
But after the inauguration, the coin plummeted even further. Now, my portfolio is worth just $1,020—barely enough to cover my debt.
Here’s what I learned:
Don’t Act on Emotion - Never go ALL IN on a speculative token. It may seem stupid but when FOMO attacks, you ended up acting out of reality.
Avoid Buying Tops – If a coin has already pumped, it’s usually too late to buy.
Be Careful with Memecoins – Most don’t have their own blockchain or real utility and you always have to expect them to go to zero.
Bitcoin is king - If you’re more conservative, stick with Bitcoin. Over the long term, a Bitcoin-only portfolio will always be more stable than one filled with random tokens.
If you want to diversify, add serious, solid projects alongside with reputable memecoins like $DOGE, $SHIB and $PEPE.
I hope my story helps someone avoid the same mistakes I made.
🤑 Elon Musk Pumps Ethereum Meme Coin Yet Again With DOGE Photo
Ethereum meme coin Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) surged on Thursday after Elon Musk posted an image on X (formerly known as Twitter) in tribute to the fictional frog.
Showing off his office setup at the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a painting appears to be patched over digitally with a screengrab of Kekius Maximus. The meme coin then leapt 60%, spiking to $0.03.
Over the course of the last day, KEKIUS has jumped by nearly 72% to a current price of $0.026.
Kekius Maximus soared as high as $0.40 in January, when Musk first dawned the frog as his profile picture on X. When Musk’s account reverted back to its normal state days later—showing the billionaire’s face—the meme coin’s value began plummeting.
Musk’s love for Dogecoin has been well documented for years, but the tech CEO’s infatuation with Kekius Maximus only dates back to December. Musk first described an image of “Pepe the Frog Emperor” on X as “amazing,” weeks before he adopted it as his profile picture.
In a comment to his post on Thursday, Musk described Kekius Maximus as a “late great.” He also linked to the song “Now We are Free,” performed by Croatian music duo, 2Cellos.
An alternative version of the somber melody was featured in the film “Gladiator.” Recorded by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, the film’s score was later nominated for an Academy Award. The popular film features a character named Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman military commander portrayed by Russell Crowe.
Musk’s social media antics have impacted the price of many meme coins, including CumRocket, a meme coin previously linked to disgraced FTX mogul Sam Bankman-Fried.
Musk also claimed Kekius Maximus as his character’s name in the video game Path of Exile. At one point, it appeared that Musk had lost the title when his character died, but the tech CEO later clarified that he was able to get the name back.
🚀 Elon Musk’s Meme Power Strikes Again! KEKIUS Surges 72%!
Elon Musk just sent another meme coin soaring! After posting an image featuring Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) on X (formerly Twitter), the Ethereum-based meme coin jumped 72% in a single day, reaching $0.026!
📈 What Happened? Musk shared a photo of his office at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with a painting digitally altered to feature Kekius Maximus. The post instantly triggered a price rally, with KEKIUS spiking 60% to $0.03 before settling slightly lower.
🔥 Why is This Important?
Musk’s Influence: He previously boosted KEKIUS in January by using a frog-themed profile picture, sending the coin to an all-time high of $0.40!
Meme Coin Mania: Similar to Dogecoin (DOGE) and CumRocket, Musk’s tweets continue to shake up the crypto market.
Gladiator Connection? Musk called KEKIUS a “late great” and linked it to Now We Are Free, a song from the movie Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe as Maximus Decimus Meridius.
🎮 Gaming Twist? Musk previously used “Kekius Maximus” as his in-game name in Path of Exile. Though he seemingly lost the title when his character died, he later confirmed reclaiming it. His latest post didn’t mention gaming, but a powerful graphics card in his setup suggests he’s still an active player!
💡 The Takeaway: Musk's social media antics continue to drive massive price swings in meme coins. Whether it’s DOGE, KEKIUS, or another surprise pick, his influence in the crypto world remains undeniable!

#btc Leverage is empty, the guys see you from the system and are only trying to make you explode, if the liquidation is far and they can't make you explode, they will go horizontally for a long time so that you will get bored.
Binance I'm really starting to get angry what kind of a scam is this, how come you don't sell a level that has a counterpart and you skip it, how does it go up to that level if there is no counterpart???
$1MBABYDOGE There is no such thing as a cheating, rude stock exchange like you. If we were not idiots, we would not trade on Binance. I opened a bot. When the babydogeye bot is at a loss of 9 USD, it is not stopped. After it starts to rise and reaches a loss of 6 USD, it is stopped. May God damn stock exchanges like you.
$COW What kind of a graphic is this, what kind of needlework is your talent, stealing people's money, shame on you, you can't get enough of the stock market, and you blow long and short on commission, shame on you,
#binance You think we don't understand, don't you? But that's not the case. We see what you're doing. You're not doing anything other than exploding long and short. $COW
I have been receiving training since 2022 and have been waiting for the Bull season for 3 years. Due to financial difficulties, I have been using margin leverage with a small capital to increase my capital a little and make a basket, but every time I uploaded money, I lost money and I have no hope. I will not upload any more money because there is no money left. In this market, the rich man always wins. They make spot investments, multiply their money and withdraw from the market, but we, who use leverage, could not earn 1 more USD. Unfortunately, I am withdrawing from the market. My 4-year wait for the Bull is over. I have no hope left. Binance company is the enemy of small investors.
